Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Sit Loose on Their Opinions

People will find fault as they please, and it is a mercy to sit loose to their opinions, and let them talk on — provided we can do it in a right spirit.

I mean, from a humble consciousness that our views are upright before the Lord — and that we are simply aiming to serve him.
